KFI: A high-end weapons company in the United States is selling a set of pistols made from a 4.5 billion-year-old meteorite. The pair of guns are not cheap though and will set back the potential buy $4.5 million.
The “Big Bang Pistol Set,” was made by Cabot Guns and forged using metals from the Gibeon meteorite, which fell in Namibia, Africa. Rob Bianchin, who is the founder, and president of the Indiana-based firearms company, said that collectors have told him the “The Big Bang Pistol set are the ‘holy grail’ of collectible firearms” and will be “the crown jewel of any collection.” more here
Are you suppose to get more ‘bang’ for your buck?
If I win Powerball tonight I’m buying them. That’s my only hope.
If this has kryptonite in it we might have found the gun that can do damage to Superman when you throw it at him after running out of bullets.
I’m gonna dump and count my coin stash. Wish me luck!

Legislation was introduced today in California to ban meteorite assault guns.
I’ll stick with my 586 L Comp .357 magnum
It would be kinda cool to have a few bullets made out of the meteorite material as well to go with them.

Cast this same gun in high school shop class with molten aluminium pot metal alloys in a sand form. Had to wear safety glasses and a glove.
